List critical circuits for pumps, gates, refrigeration, internet, lighting and air-conditioning. Record rated and tested output, automatic-transfer operation, run time, fuel storage, ventilation, exhaust, noise, earthing and service history. A visual start-up does not replace a load test by a qualified technician.
